For Abe Babe: Smilies
 
Here.



Let me know what you want to do with them.

SeaRex 06-29-2004 06:52 AM

I like your smilies very much, Death. Their spooky grey drabness tickles my tummy.

You need a sarcastic, cynical one to round out the bunch.

I was going to do a ton of those smilies, but really didn't have time. If the demand keeps up then I'll make a sarcastic fella for you.

Ooh, neatness. I especially like the one giving a crazed Tim Burtonish, Skeleton Jack meets The Grinch lunatic grin. The way its eyes are different sizes adds to the effect. And the greyness.

The spam one is my favorite!

I hope those smiles get implemented.

Never fear oddguy, they ARE going to be implemented!

Abe Babe said that she was going to use them, but couldn't because I left, and she wasn't sure whether I'd be ok with it or not. However she now has my permission to use them and stuffs.

Thing is, the ones that I posted were not of a good file quality, so I had to make another jpeg from the bitmap original, but set the quality to maximum. Now it's nice and clear and all the colors have stayed the way they should.

they look great.....

Majic 06-29-2004 07:53 PM

The first person to ever use "Spam" gets their ass kicked.

the brew master 06-29-2004 08:15 PM

YIKES!

*kicks majic in the croach(sp?) and runs off*

Cloverfield 06-29-2004 11:38 PM

Awesome Death!

I've altered them to have a transparent background so that they can work on all skins, but I'll let you review and make sure they are still fine with you.

I was thinking of replacing the default smilies with these ones instead ... so we'll have smilie structure something like this [when you click on the More link] ...

Oddworld Smilies
Forum Smilies [these will be Death's ones]
Other Smilies [for generic and funny ones ~ perhaps we can add more]

I'd like to remove the default vBulletin ones, but the only ones we are missing from Death's ones are sad, mad and embarrassed. I can probably make them by altering one of Death's, but I'll see what he wants to do first.

Here is what we will have so far though ::

Edit: actually, I noticed slight greyness around the original ones I made transparenet, so if I could get some feedback as to whether the following ones are better/same/worse on people's monitors.

They are viewing perfectly for me....they are great! Good work guys!

Codek 06-30-2004 06:17 AM

I like the sound of it so far. I think those certainly go better with the industrial theme.

I think the second ones you posted look better. Use those. If you want to add more to the "generic/funny" range, I've got a ton you can use that really kick ass. I'll post those later.

Also, I'll make a note of doing the sad, embarrassed and mad ones. I'll probably do a few other useful expressions while I'm at it. Meanwhile, feel free to implement those ones you have there.

Codek 06-30-2004 06:40 AM

OK here are some more:



From left to right: Suprised, Robot, Mad, Dead, Evil.

ANN NEELY 06-30-2004 08:19 AM

Coolies. Your smilies are awesome!

Nate 06-30-2004 12:35 PM

they're great. How do you make them?

Cloverfield 07-02-2004 02:29 AM

Awesome Death! :) Thanks for this!

They have now been implimented, so everyone should now see these smilies replacing the standard vBulletin ones.

If you could find some "funny" smilies for us to use, that would be great. I think Oddguy also has some smilies as well. The only thing I want to make sure is that we don't use any "oversized" smilies. If anyone has ever seen a forum where the "jaw drop" smilie is in use, you'll notice that it really makes the text look untidy.

Fuzzles! 07-02-2004 03:44 AM

Yes Abe Babe I know exactly what you mean!!! Even smaller smilies that are still not the standard (or at least consistent across the board) can skew the line spacing all up!!! Makes post reading really difficult!

Love the new smilies! :) :)

Xavier 07-02-2004 05:04 AM

very good ones... realy they are great!
:D

SeaRex 07-02-2004 06:13 AM

They go great with the industrial theme and they're a hella lot better than the old ones.

My favorite. :|

Codek 07-02-2004 06:45 AM

No problems guys. You're all welcome. ;)

Let's see what "funny" emoticons we have here...






Sekto Springs 07-02-2004 02:54 PM

I was working on Live Ammo smilies, they're almost done I made
bouncing bolamite
rolling thud-slug
chatting chippunk

That's it so far. :D <

nads 07-02-2004 04:17 PM

Great googly moogly, Death. These are the shizznit! I love your animated ones! I love the still ones! I love them all! They are awesome!!! HOW DID YOU MAKE THEM SO GOOD?! I'M TWEEKIN' OUT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Cool, thanks. ;)

If anyone is interested, I make the gray ones in ms paint. I find it's the simplest way to do them. Each pixel is put in by hand. All the anti-aliasing is done by me.

First I just make a simple line drawing, then I tweak that a bit, and once I'm happy with how it works, I give it color. Then I zoom in, and using the pencil tool, I simply shade and anti-alias the lines so it all smooths out.

At some point I will update the slightly older ones, so they look as good as the newer ones:

Haha! Awesome. :D

TheRaisin 07-03-2004 09:15 PM

I personally like the guy bashing someone with a chair and the guy throwing his computer against the wall.

And by Death--sorry, Codek-- the guy bashing his head against a brick wall, the guy whose eyes twitch before he laughs like a lunatic, and the Groucho Marx dude puffing on a cigar.

Those are some great ones.

Cloverfield 07-11-2004 04:57 AM

Heh, funny smilies guys. I've added them as well. :)

Hey Sligslinger ... Live Ammo smilies sound awesome! That would be something we could deifinately use on here if they come out great. Keep us updated!

Abe Babe...

Sekto Springs 07-11-2004 05:15 AM

Alot of the finished live ammo gifs are on my old server which has recently s'ploded. Once I remove the hardrive I could probly reconnect it and find them back. Until then I'll just work on some more.
